Has Alex Dunne put himself in the frame for a possible Cadillac F1 seat after impressing in Friday practice?
Former Formula 1 driver Karun Chandhok believes that Alex Dunne should be considered as one of Cadillac’s drivers for the upcoming year. Cadillac will be the 11th team to join the 2026 F1 grid, but they have not finalized their driver lineup. Speculation points towards Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez as potential choices for Cadillac, with Dunne also being a promising option due to his success in FIA Formula 2. Chandhok suggests that Cadillac should go for a blend of experience and potential, advocating for a mix of an established driver like Bottas or Perez along with a young talent like Dunne or Felipe Drugovich. Despite ongoing discussions, Cadillac team principal Graeme Lowdon confirmed that there will be no driver announcement at the British Grand Prix. Instead, they are taking their time to ensure that their driver lineup is carefully decided upon and will generate excitement among fans when revealed.
